Guided Heli-Fishing – Great Barrier Island or Coromandel

Nothing rivals the unreal experience of fishing directly off the rocks at a remote location you can only access via Heletranz Helicopter.

From $5900 for 5 pax

As Heli-Fishing pioneers with over 30 years of expertise, we know this feeling better than anyone and can host groups both large or small, for the most unforgettable, fish of a lifetime – with the catch to prove it!

The Hauraki Gulf and surrounding islands have some of the best fishing in the world, the sub-tidal reefs of the North-East Coastline and Great Barrier have a rich and diverse marine habitat which supports numerous species of fish including Snapper, Kahawai and Kingfish.

Depart from our Heliport in Albany, Auckland and head out to one of our chosen fishing spots, flying over the islands of the Hauraki Gulf with a bird’s eye view of the exquisite scenery making up the land and seascape below, sometimes even spying dolphins, whales and sting-rays.

Once landed – the helicopter and highly knowledgeable pilot will stay with you as your guide throughout the trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or total newbie, the pilot will be on hand where you need, so you can focus on having an excellent time reeling in the catch of the day.

We provide all the fishing equipment you’ll need including: top quality spinning reels and 10ft graphite rod, as well as tackle and bait.

Bottled water and a fisherman’s lunch are included in the cost— you’re most welcome to bring your own few beers to complement if you like.

After four hours of ‘lines in the water’ fishing, we’ll wrap up and fly back across the same breathe-taking scenery, to our base at Heletranz – complete with your full bounty in tow. Total trip time approximately 5-6 hours.

Heli-fishing is the perfect activity for Corporate Rewards/Entertainment, as well as a levelled up way to have a good ol’ fish with your mates at one of the best fishing spots in New Zealand.
